Nii Ayikwei Parkes recommends
thumb
Death in the Air (2024)
Ram Murali
"Convincingly captures the milieu of the uber rich, a world in which consequences only exist on a sliding scale, depending on who you know and how much you can pay... Fizzes with ambition, managing to be both showy and subversive... a fun, thought-provoking book - a commentary on greed, cultural appropriation and the peculiar malaise of the wealthy - a daring debut."

Ada's Room (2023)
Ada's Realm

Sharon Dodua Otoo
"A work of fierce imagination, by turns visceral, measured and experimental."
